Reborn Peach, being eavesdropped by monkeys

Chapter 297 The troubles of happiness

Outside the Yuxu Palace, the bright clouds are shining, and the mist is rising. There are fairy pools and springs everywhere, and lotus flowers are blooming. Under the breeze, they sway gently and emit bursts of fragrance.

There are also wonderful flowers of fairy grass, cranes chirping and monkeys singing, a peaceful and comfortable scene of a fairy house.

Daoist Duobao, Master Xuandu, had already entered the hall first.

Li Anran and the monkey followed Baihe Tongzi, walking all the way inward, the doors of the palace opened one after another, and closed them silently after they entered.

The Eastern Prince stayed at the gate of Yuxu Palace and waited.

After passing through about seven or eight halls, I finally arrived in front of the main hall. The gate of the hall is carved with wood, simple and magnificent, with a plaque with a jade background and gold pattern hanging on it. large characters.

[It's finally here. 】

【Samcheong! 】

Li Anran was a little nervous.

Last time in Nezha's copy of life, he accidentally met a Taoist guide, and was immediately spotted by the Taoist guide. It's really hard to say what will happen this time.

The monkey was more excited, looking left and right along the way, and couldn't wait to wait outside the Sanqing Hall, and walked in three steps at a time, just wanting to see the saint's demeanor.

Seeing the monkey being so disrespectful, Baihe Tongzi turned pale with fright, and stretched out his hand to stop the monkey, but stopped halfway through the movement. It should be Sanqing who stopped him.

The monkey immediately entered the hall, followed closely by Li Anran.

The interior decoration of the Sanqing Hall is very simple. The whole body is made of light white jade, with a faint lotus pattern carved on it, and a little bit of sunlight rises up, constantly nourishing the body, and even improving the person's aptitude to a certain extent. .

There are three futons on the high platform facing the door, and there are three figures sitting on the futons, all of them are covered with Qingyun above their heads, and their bodies are full of rays of light. Just sitting there, there will be infinite changes of heaven, boundless, soundless and inextinguishable. The Master of Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Laozi.

There are several figures standing on the left and right sides of the main hall, the one on the left is the Grand Master Xuandu, the one on the right is Taoist Duobao, under them, there are several monkeys and Li Anran's old acquaintances——

Antarctic Immortal, Guangchengzi, Yunzhongzi, Wudang Virgin, and Golden Spirit Virgin.

The time for Sanqing to establish religion is still short, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Explanation and Teaching have not yet been assembled, and the leader of Tongtian religion has not yet started to accept meat and vegetables in batches. The whole Taoism is just seven or eight big cats and kittens.

As for the long-eared Dingguang Immortal, because he was not welcomed by Yuanshi Tianzun, he was not qualified to serve in the palace at all.

"The disciple received the decree and has brought Shi Hao and Sun Wukong here." Boy Baihe bowed respectfully, and stepped aside when Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly.

Li Anran and the monkey were secretly, no, it should be said that Li Anran was secretly looking at Sanqing, and the monkey was looking at it openly.

[Is this the saint? 】

Li Anran's first feeling was that he seemed to be facing the vast ocean and the boundless starry sky. The feeling of insignificance gushing from the depths of his heart was almost irresistible.

But when he took a second look, there seemed to be nothing in front of him. Sanqing was like the moon in the water in the mirror, illusory and unpredictable.

When he looked at Sanqing, he could clearly see Sanqing's appearance and attire:

One is a free and easy young man with black hair hanging down his shoulders, wearing a green cloud crown, and a light blue Taoist robe.

One is a majestic middle-aged man with white hair parted in the middle, wearing a lotus crown, and wearing a jade-thread neon robe.

One is a kind old man with white hair and long beard, a diamond crown on his head, and a robe with seven stars and clouds.

But when he looked away, his memory was only blurred, and it was impossible to describe Sanqing's appearance with words or even spells.

Monkey is much more courageous than Li Anran, it is not enough to look upright, and he quietly opened the golden pupils, wanting to see more things.

He is now in the quasi-sage realm and has found his own way to prove the Tao. The next step is to move forward step by step until he proves the Hunyuan.

There is no saint in Journey to the West, so he doesn't look twice at this time, he has a standard answer to confirm his thoughts, and it will be difficult in the future.

"what!!!"

But in the next second, the monkey let out a cry of pain, his eyes were closed tightly, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

The sage and the Dao are true, and looking directly at the sage is almost equivalent to looking directly at the Dao. The endless information pouring in at that moment is unbearable even for the broken golden pupil.

This is a bit like ordinary people looking directly at the noon sun, except that the one pouring in is Tao, and the other pouring in is light.

"Bold monster monkey! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of a sage!" All the Taoist disciples' complexions changed, and they all sternly reprimanded.

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit directly touched the Four Elephant Pagoda in her sleeve, ready to teach the monkey a lesson.

【not good! 】

Li Anran's heart skipped a beat, his right hand had already grabbed the monkey's arm, ready to leave the dungeon world at any time.

At this moment, Lao Tzu suddenly said: "It's okay." With a wave of his right hand, a ray of sunlight fell, and the monkey's stinging eyes instantly healed.

At the same time, the glow that shrouded his body gradually receded, and he said kindly: "Since you want to see it, then you can see enough. If there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask the old man."

"Ah?!" All the Taoist disciples were dumbfounded.

This, what's the situation?
It's fine if the Grand Master is not angry, but he has to abandon the face of a saint and put away the rays of light protecting his body, so that this monstrous monkey can see clearly?

Li Anran and Houzi also looked at each other in blank dismay.

【What is Taishang Laojun trying to do? 】

[So polite to monkeys? 】

The monkey looked at Taishang Laojun suspiciously, but did not move.

Before, he peeked based on his ability, but now if he followed Taishang Laojun's words, it would be equivalent to owe Taishang Laojun a favor!
As the saying goes: If you have nothing to show affection, you can either rape or steal!

Not to mention the affection of a saint!

You can't even do it if you don't want to!
In the whole hall, only Master Tongtian and Tianzun Yuanshi were not surprised.

They knew very well that their elder brother had taken a fancy to the monstrous monkey in front of him and was moved to accept him as a disciple!
The Taoist Sanqing have different standards for accepting disciples. The leader of Tongtian pays attention to intercepting a chance of survival for all living beings.

Yuanshi Tianzun pays attention to clarifying the broad meaning of Dao, that is, acting in accordance with the way of heaven, and those who follow the path of others and have deep luck are undoubtedly loved by the way of heaven, and they are destined to achieve positive results.

Laozi pays attention to inaction and everything. There is no standard for accepting apprentices, but it is also because there is no standard that it is the most difficult. Over the years, only one great master Xuandu has been accepted.

This is a bit like those single dogs in later generations. If you ask him what is his requirement for finding a partner, nine out of ten will say that women are okay, but let alone introduce ten women to him, just introduce a hundred. He might not even be able to catch his eye.

But today, Lao Tzu decided to accept Monkey as his apprentice.

Ever since Chang-er Dingguangxian reported the news about Li Anran and the monkey to Sanqing, Sanqing has been paying attention to the movements of Li Anran and the monkey.

In the midst of the catastrophe, the secrets of heaven are chaotic, and the saints can't see the past, present and future, and deduce everything, but they can stare at anyone and anything as long as they want.

Li Anran and Houzi were extremely honored to be in their eyes.

Earlier, the monkey followed the gourd to draw a ladle, copied the method of proving the Tao that the Tathagata had comprehended, and cut out his own evil thoughts, that is, the six-eared macaque, which also fell into Lao Tzu's eyes.

At that time, Laozi, or even Sanqing, was shocked!
Especially Laozi, the core of his practice is the way of yin and yang. Before he was accepted as a disciple by Daozu Hongjun to teach the method of beheading three corpses to prove the way, he wanted to prove the Hunyuan through the way of yin and yang, but he never If you can understand it thoroughly, you will not implement it.

Unexpectedly, the monkey's thinking was exactly the same as his, and it was even further ahead than him, having cut out his own evil thoughts.

This gave Laozi a feeling of being enlightened suddenly.

He wanted to help the monkey perfect this method of proving the Tao, and make up for his regret that he couldn't persevere!

He also wanted to see with his own eyes how far the monkey could go!
Lao Tzu, including Li Anran and Hou Zi, do not know that this method of proving the way of self-realization and sanctification is superficially copied by Monkey from Tathagata, but the root lies in Lao Tzu!

However, this Lao Tzu is not the current Lao Tzu, but the Lao Tzu who will be counted 10 years later!

After the catastrophe of conferring the gods, Lao Tzu led Taoist Duobao all the way to Hangu Pass in order to divide Buddhism. In the end, he used this method of proving the true self to persuade Taoist Duobao to turn Hu into a Buddha!
Although this way of proving the true self is the same as proving the way with strength, no one has ever passed it, but in the era of Journey to the West when there is no majestic purple energy and there is no hope of beheading three corpses to prove the way, there are at least some ways to prove the way of the true self. A silver lining.

But for Daoist Duobao, it is enough to die in the morning and evening, and a glimmer of hope is enough for him to put everything down and fight.

This is also the reason why Lao Tzu's idea of ​​having a monkey is exactly the same as his and has benefited a lot.

After all, this method of proving the Tao was realized by Lao Tzu himself, but it took countless years for it to be truly perfected.

"Old...Old Daoist!" Monkey almost blurted out an "old man", but he took it back abruptly, and asked, "You do this, but you want my old grandson to owe you a favor and do something for you?" what?"

Lao Tzu shook his head, and said lightly: "It's not because of the old Tao's bragging. In the three realms, what the old Tao can't do, no one can do except Dao Zu."

Li Anran and Hou Zi were both shocked when they heard the calm statement.

[I give full marks to this pretense! 】

Li Anran felt envious and jealous.

Because he knew that Lao Tzu was telling the truth.

With a light flick of the dust whisk in Lao Tzu's hand, the yin and yang qi in the heaven and the earth gathered together and formed a yin and yang diagram in front of him, which circulated continuously, and the rays of the sun surged, transforming into thousands of scenes, and countless rhymes condensed, extremely mysterious.

Li Anran and Hou Zi were stunned.

Especially the monkeys, looking straight at the yin-yang diagram, seeing the beauty, couldn't help scratching their ears, scratching their cheeks, smiling, dancing, and unconsciously evolving infinite yin-yang changes.

To Lao Tzu, the way to prove the true self is more like a layer of window paper and a hole in the brain. When he sees it, he naturally understands many things, which is far better than a monkey countless times.

At this time, Lao Tzu evolved the things he had comprehended one by one, and the monkey was overjoyed to see that the comprehension in an instant was better than a hundred years of hard work.

Seeing this, Lao Tzu also nodded secretly, the monkey's understanding and attainments in the way of yin and yang also exceeded his expectations.

The eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master fell on Li Anran tightly, without blinking.

Suddenly, the two looked at each other, and there seemed to be an invisible lightning colliding together in the void.

"Shi Hao, are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"

Yuanshi Tianzun and Master Tongtian spoke almost at the same time.
